ResumoABSTRACT. Two of 5 children in one family presented with unique facies, proportionate small stature and sensorineural deafness‐mutism. One of the children who had a history of recurrent infections, was shown to have a defect of leukocyte chemotaxis. Although impairment of chemotaxis could not be demonstrated in the other affected sibling, it is unlikely that the association of a previously undescribed syndrome and a rare disorder of chemotaxis is a chance occurrence.
